St. Louis - Dozens of people in Missouri and southern Illinois reported seeing flaming objects falling from the sky Sunday evening.
People reported small objects that looked like bright lights or something burning, with flaming tails behind some of them, said Ken Tretter of Missouri State Highway Patrol in St. Louis.
He said the reports came in from a widespread area, including St. Louis, Cape Girardeau and Pettis County in Missouri and near Alton and Bunker Hill in Illinois.
A preliminary report Sunday indicated the lights were from a meteor, said Maj. April Cunningham, a spokeswoman for North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, which watches for airborne threats to the United States and Canada.
"We had a pilot reporting seeing a meteor and that's really all the information we have tonight," Cunningham said.

The World for People who Think
Sounds like a bunch of meteors to me. This is starting to get spooky. Usually meteors burn up within seconds and are barely visible to the eye, now we have chunks, and numerous reports of chunks. Everyone should heed the military movements which seem to correlate these events, because you never know when something is being prepared for under cover. I think the earth can take a lot of hits though and survive. The bad thing about that is they will soon become a news event and everyone will begin to get a kick out of determining where the next big one will hit.
